A Day of Giving Back
Greetings from the Williston Coyote Foundation! Today, we are celebrating "Giving Tuesday"! According to the "Giving Tuesday" website, this day is "Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources." If you are so inclined, please consider making a donation to support and promote Williston Public Schools through our Foundation.
